Idk what I’m doing wrong. The static PCs won’t ping the DHCP PCs.

[OpenDoors]

This is the instructions. I created the PT top left to bottom to right following the instructions. 

Physical Configuration:

Create the following network in Packet Tracer version 8:

• • 2 - Switches(2960), connected together using Ethernet Cables via port G0/2
    • Label as S_East and S_West
  • 4 - Computers using DHCP, 2 attached to each switch
    • On S_East label the Computers PC_East 1 and PC_East 2 
    • On S_West label the Computers PC_West 1 and PC_West 2
  • 1 - Router(2901), Labeled R_ROAS, connected to S_West using Ethernet Cable via port Gi0/1(switch and router)
  • 1 - Switch(2960), Labeled S_North, connected to R_ROAS using Ethernet Cable via port Gi0/1(switch)
  • 2 - Computers using static IP attached to S_North
    • Label the Computers PC_North 1 (fa0/11) with IP 192.168.4.11, and PC_North 2 (fa0/22) with IP 192.168.4.22
  • 1 – Switch(2960), Labeled S_South, connected to S_North with Layer 2 Etherchannel using 4 fast ethernet lines

General Configuration:

Establish the following where necessary:

• • DHCP (on R_ROAS) for network using 192.168.1.0/24
    • Exclude .1-.10 from the DHCP scope so they aren't handed out
    • DNS server ip is 192.168.1.5
    • Domain name is ACME.com
  • Statically assign IP's to all Infrastructure devices - use first available IP for each network on R_ROAS
  • On R_ROAS - Gi0/1 will use 192.168.1.0/24 network, Gi0/0 will use 192.168.4.0/24 network

I BELIEVE I DID THE ABOVE BUT THE STATIC PCS ON THE RIGHT WONT PING THE PCS TO THE LEFT PASSED THE ROUTER. 

THESE ARE PING RESULTS:

North PCs ping each other 

North PCs ping Router

Router pings itself
Router does not ping any East or West devices

Router pings both North devices

I personally believe it’s the dhcp confit or the default gateway? I’m just lost at this point. Please help.

Hello, could you please paste the running-config of R_ROAS and the output of the Show ip dhcp binding command

[OpenDoors]

The sh ip dhcp binding does not work on my router. I also tried others that involve dhcp and still no results.

Hello,

post the zipped Packet Tracer project (.pkt) file...

[OpenDoors · Accepted solution]

Ok will do. I need at least 30 mins as I’m not home rn. 

[Georg Pauwen · Accepted solution]

Hello,

the problem was that none of your PCs on the left were getting an IP address at all, because of a typo in the excluded range on the router:

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.169.1.49

After changing this to:

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.49

all PCs get an IP address, and everything has full end-to-end connectivity.

Attached the revised, working file.

I feel so defeated. I spent all night trying to find the error and it was 1 number.
